Giulianova Groceria in historic downtown Westminster

Giulianova Groceria, http://www.brothersun.biz/history.html:Opened in 1986 by Tony D'Eugenio, Giulianova has been a cornerstone of downtown Westminster's Main Street community for two decades, serving the town's Italian grocery needs. Bill Schroeder bought the store from Tony in the summer of 2003. While the line of ethnic foods has greatly expanded, Bill has never deviated from the principle of selecting the finest quality Italian goods for Giulianova's customers. The hoagies are the same as the day the doors opened in 1986, that is to say, they are still the best in town. The lasagnas, sauces, and other products produced in the store are derived from the tradition passed down by Mama D'Eugenio. After handing them down to her son Tony, she was more than happy to share them with Bill. Don't bother driving to Philadelphia, New York, or even Baltimore. Giulianova has been, and will be your source for the finest Italian goods, right in your backyard!

Westminster MD Clock Tower Fund

Westminster Clock Tower Fund at the Community Foundation of Carroll County, 255 Clifton Boulevard, Westminster, Md. 21158.: Westminster MD Clock Tower Fund Keeping the old timepiece working has been challenging for the city workers in the last number of years. The project was part of an ongoing restoration of the clock, which at 114 years of age has indeed suffered the ravages of time. To make matters worse, several years ago a few youngsters broke into the clock tower and vandalized the historic icon of the community. Although Booth is donating his time, other expenses incurred in the clock repair are being covered by private donations collected by a fund spearheaded by Westminster councilwoman Suzanne Albert. For more information, please see my Explore Carroll article on the clock tower repairs here: http://tinyurl.com/2bnrsrg If you would like to contribute, send a donation to the Westminster Clock Tower Fund at the Community Foundation of Carroll County, 255 Clifton Boulevard, Westminster, Md. 21158.

Henryton State Hospital

Click on the image of Henryton to go articles about the historic state hospital: According to an undated history of Henryton discovered by Historian Betty Jane Lee, “In the year 1918, the General Assembly of Maryland, Maryland's legislative body, authorized the construction of a tuberculosis sanatorium for Negro patients who were residents of Maryland. This sanatorium was established at Henryton in CarroIl County. It was opened in September of 1923. It is situated on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad about 25 miles west of Baltimore and about seven miles from Sykesville. Multiple sources report that after a major reorganization of state government in 1963, Henryton was no longer utilized as a tuberculosis sanatorium, and along with Rosewood State Hospital; it was converted to a “developmental disabilities facility,” according to a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties report prepared for the Maryland Historic Trust around June 2000. According to an article in The Sun on April 1, 2013, “Inside the abandoned Henryton State Hospital,” “For years, the old Henryton State Hospital has sat abandoned in rural southeastern Carroll County as officials decide what to do next with the decaying psychiatric [sic]… facility. Closed since 1985, there have been 70 fires over the past decade, as the complex like others, falls victim to vandalism and deterioration.” In June 2013, the entire complex of 19 buildings was removed from the property at a cost of over $4 million. The entire property, totally 105 acres according to the Maryland Historic Trust, is to be absorbed into Patapsco Valley State Park. Kevin E. Dayhoff June 24, 2015

Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and give the best in me To guard my every neighbor And protect their property. And if according to Your will I have to lose my life, Please bless with Your protecting hand My children and my wife. --author unknown http://www.westminstervfd.org/
